2nd Flex Plate - New Rear Differential
2015 - Z06 - C07 - A8
5900 miles...2nd Flex Plate, and a new Pumpkin (completely new rear differential) being installed this week
Flex Plate - rattling again (after less than 1200 miles)
Service Rear Axle message - causes all kinds of StabilTrac, Traction Control, and Performance Traction Management issues - it was determined to replace the entire rear differential as a complete unit (at least thats the belief at the moment)
GM Customer Service, and my Dealership have been fantastic handling it, communicating and procuring parts - hopefully the diagnosis proves correct, and eliminates the "issues" - because i love driving the car !
For the record: this is a street only car, no 1/4 mile runs, no track days, no street races, no burn-outs....just good ol' spirited driving, apexing the sweepers and throttling up - so "no abuse" to speak of

New Flex Plate - New Rear Differential (2 days to complete)
- i've driven it close to 100 miles and the Service Rear Axle message did not reappear (usually it appeared with only 5 to 20 miles) - StabilTrack, Traction Control, and PTM accessibility are all back to normal
